Certainly Colin Powell would be a force to recon with. He was burned badly by the Republicans when he was Bush's Secretary of State and he presented phony evidence he was given about Iraq's "Weapons of Mass Destruction". He is an honorable man and to humiliate him with a staged lie and phony evidence in front of the world was the last straw for him.
It was just another Republican Dirty Trick, I suppose.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
